We recently had a guest speaker/author/  28 year columnist Washington
Post/DC journalist Colman McCarthy on the curriculum topic of teaching
peace. As we looked at how this is represented in  curriculums  and =
proportionate to the time spent on war in history as  the response to =
failed effort at negotiating and cooperation, or as acts of aggression, =
it made me
look at how the library collection reflected this imbalance as well. A
search for books under subjects like non-violence, peace, treaties,
cooperation and negotiation skills in politics as well as on the =
playground
found many more available than I had ever considered . This was a wake =
up
call to refresh my collection so students have better access to these =
ideas
and it added a fresh touch to the Martin Luther King display.=20
